Or a finish…….no, a quilt! Everything’s done, except for the label. A good finish to be sure. My design wall does not accommodate something of this size (78”x 88”) very well, but these photos will give you the idea (and, may I say, it’s really much more smashing “in person”)………..

And some “texture” shots………………………………………….

And the backing………………………………………………

The next time you will see this it will be in the hands of the young man of the hour!

As always, I so appreciate your kind comments. You have inspired me and given direction when needed. I have grown much as a quilter because of your friendship. Have a great day and, for my friends in the South and East Coast, please know our prayers are with you!!! Hugs…………….

I love it! And the backing is perfect! And the quilting in that vine pattern is great. A+ again!!!

Our son and his family live in the Carolinas. I haven’t talked to them since about an hour after the ice began yesterday so I assume they are now without power. It’s been a hard winter, especially for those in the South. We pray they all stay safe and warm.

This storm, as they are saying, is one for the record books!!! I see that a northern SC town is reporting 8″ of snow with ice (reported by law enforcement). Now that’s serious anywhere in the US!!!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words and visit!!! Have a great day!!!! Hugs…………….

It’s beautiful. I like that quilting over the feathers as it works simply with the fabric and pattern. I bet the next one is already speaking to you. can’t wait to see what you do next. Enjoy your day.

Bringing out a UFO. Made one like it for DIL years ago and am doing some “thread painting”/machine applique on the flowers. Post soon. This will be our “winter” quilt as I have a wool batt for it. I thought I would have it done last Fall. Didn’t happen. So now………………………..

It and I will be there. Hopefully with another finish….a UFO that was started last year (identical to the carnation applique quilt I gave Tracy years ago). Thread painting/appliqueing the flowers today.

This will be his high school grad. gift. Did the hunting themed quilt for his brother last year. They have similar interests….both like to hunt, but this one really likes the wood-working. Personality-wise, they are “night and day” with this one being outgoing, prankster, clown with a huge heart!!!! The “funky fun” backing is so perfect!!!

Certainly another masterpiece from the sewing room of Doreen. I really like the quilting. It is suitable for a young man more than feathers! Hope you get your UFO done soon.

Your country is suffering in the awful weather, as is the UK. We have flooding that has not gone down since before Christmas and people still can’t get back to their homes. I was going to sew on Wednesday but the power kept going on and off so I knitted beside the wood-burner instead.
I hope everyone in the South of both countries are safe.

Graduation is the end of May!!!! And yes…..I am thrilled that I can say is done before the needed date!!!!! I have so many other quilts waiting and a challenge quilt due in April for one of the groups I’m a member of. Keeps my days busy and me “off the streets”!!!!! ROFL!!!!!

It’s been good. Had a little hip problem that has had me down and out for about 2 weeks but am finally on the mend. Harvested the Tempranillo & Semillion last week. Pinot should be ready within 2 weeks and Cab Sav in about a month.
